The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) mortuary attendants, have been accused of removing the eyes of a dead child, an 18-month-old twin named Chuma who died of anaemia in the hospital’s children’s ward on August 3, 2018.

The father of the dead child who had gone back to pay the mortuary bill two weeks later, discovered to his horror that the corpse they brought out for him had been mutilated and the UPTH mortuary attendants could not account for how, when or why the body parts got missing.

The father of the dead child who spoke to Satturday Sun's correspondent said; 

“Even while the baby was still breathing, one of the nurses had approached me and asked me to pay N30,000 to have the baby buried somewhere. That got me annoyed. From that moment, they became nonchalant, claiming they were waiting for the blood test until the child died.”

It was gathered that the couple travelled to Ughelli, where their families had encouraged them to bring the body home for burial.

“I went to the mortuary on September 17 to pay the bill and retrieve the corpse,” continued the distraught dad. “I had N20, 000 with me. But after taking the money, the attendant informed me my total bill was N56, 000. I requested to see the corpse of my baby. But to my surprise, when he brought out the baby’s corpse, the two eyes had been removed.”

According to the father of the dead child, he was prevented from taking pictures of the corpse.

Haaaaaa
Lord have mercy.

Wickedness everywhere. They can't even leave the dead to rest in peace again.

He deserves to be fired.

Who're the evil priest demanding human parts from their clients all over Nigeria?


Its high time they starte looking or demanding for other things instead of human parts.

APC politicians have resorted to using humans eyes for election rituals.
They will probably use the eyes to see results in other polling units and alter it to their favour with missing limbs.

90% of politicians are ritualist.....if na lie ask that troublesome Afonja female journalist that was sent to Port Harcourt prison.

Hmmmm, without the approval of the parents

Disgusting ! Why are people like this? Wickedness in humanity is appalling...

Yoruba people and their love for spare parts is just alarming. No wonder they take the lead when it comes to mechanic work in Nigeria.

Stupid keeps happening more frequently. Before you shout Nigeria is hell, this can happen in america too

Make dem commot him own eye self oo

Igboamaka

Ask Wike and his Boys...

I guess they must have use it for money rituals, which they are spending right now on their delegates and supporters

it

They want to look into the future to see 2019 election results

Nigeria is a country of surprises.

Osu jews at it again.

Osu amaka!

So sad

Some people are just wicked... May God. Help us..

Why keeping a little child's corpse in mortuary for that long in the first place..

You must be stupid for the statement you just wrote.

Not surprised. It's a shithole country like trump said. Spending 20k not to talk of 56k for something so sad and agonizing like the death of a child or youth. A responsible govt will take up the responsibility of building a good mortuary that charges less so as to lessen the hardship for a family that does not have much in taking care of their corpse.
The wicked citizen too think the best source of making quick money is to turn a dead body to ladipo market where he or she can remove part of parked car and sell. No respect for the dead. Rip to the young lad.

Take note. Yoruba people don't sell spare parts. They buy it from Igbo people.

That mortuary attendant should be dismissed if the claim by the dad of the child was confirmed to be true.
